While Port Cabo Rojo offers excellent facilities, the surrounding region of Pedernales is filled with incredible natural and cultural attractions. If you want to explore beyond the port gates, here is a guide to the best things to do within a short distance of the cruise terminal.
Beyond the Port Walls
Exiting the port area reveals a wild, dry tropical landscape flanked by the sparkling Caribbean Sea. While taxis are available, arranging a guided tour or private transport in advance is recommended to make the most of your day.
Relax at Nearby Beaches
You don’t have to travel far for beautiful sands. Baby Beach is located right next to the port area, offering safe shallow waters and a relaxed beach day. Alternatively, local beach clubs at Cabo Rojo beach are within a 10-minute drive.
Explore the Local Town of Pedernales
Located about 20 minutes north, the border town of Pedernales offers a look at authentic Dominican life. Walk through the central park, shop for local goods, and try fresh seafood at local beachfront restaurants.
Discover Romeo Pozos freshwater Cenotes
Located along the highway, the Pozos de Romeo are a series of natural freshwater sinkholes hidden in the dry forest. These cenotes offer a refreshing swim in crystal-clear water and are a favorite quick stop for nature photography.
